Launchpad: Starship

Starship is a decentralized launchpad platform built by the Ninety Eight team that allows projects to raise capital by selling tokens to the community. To ensure the protection of both their users and investors, projects seeking funding on Starship must undergo rigorous quality assessments. 
The mission of Starship is to serve as a platform developed by and for builders while aiming to ensure fairness for all users, from retail investors to builders and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in the crypto industry, by allowing flexible access to new and promising projects.
Furthermore, Starship offers "Starship Membership NFT” which serves as a ticket for users to participate in the launchpad. According to the team, there will be a total supply of fixed 10,000 Starship Membership NFTs, which will be sold in Private Sale, Whitelist, and Public Sale at the following prices:

  • Partner: 299 USD per NFT (in $C98).
  • Whitelist: 299 USD per NFT (in $C98).
  • Public sale: 599 USD per NFT (in $C98).

Starship Membership NFT is a ticket for users to participate in Starship.

Identity: OneID

OneID is a digital identity solution built on the Viction blockchain, allowing users to purchase one ID that can be used for multiple wallets across different chains. Currently, OneID supports over 70 popular blockchains in the market with many various domain names such as .c98, .bitcoin, .crypto, .atm, and more.
Unlike other single-chain identity projects, OneID introduces the concept of a multi-chain ID - a single ID that can be used on over 70 blockchains. This simplifies the process of sending, receiving, and interacting with dApps, as users only need to use one ID regardless of the network they are on or whether it is EVM compatible or not.
ONE Click, all chains
OneID delivers a multichain ID solution, allowing users to set one ID across multiple blockchains. Additionally, IDs on OneID operate as NFTs under the VRC-725 token standard on the Viction blockchain and benefit from a zero gas mechanism, meaning that user transactions do not require VIC for gas fees.
In the future, Ninety Eight plans to enhance the features of OneID and expand its applicability within the ecosystem, such as implementing KYC for IDs.

Cross-chain Bridge: SpaceGate

SpaceGate is a cross-chain bridge that allows users to swap and transfer tokens between different networks. This includes the ability to move C98 tokens across chains, such as Viction, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Solana.
As one of our cornerstone products, SpaceGate aligns with Ninety Eight's vision for a multi-chain and cross-chain future. It simplifies the exchange of value between blockchains and attracts users to our ecosystem. Additionally, SpaceGate plays a crucial role in operating the cross-chain infrastructure for our SuperLink product.

Aggregator SDK: SuperLink

SuperLink is an Aggregator SDK service that offers an advanced toolkit for synthesizing various DEX Aggregators. It has a unique algorithm for querying and comparing liquidity across exchanges, including 1inch, ParaSwap, and 0x, to provide the most efficient trading routes for users.
SuperLink has two main components:

  • SuperLink SDK: This is integrated into various products within the Ninety Eight ecosystem, such as SpaceGate, Coin98 Super Wallet, Ramper, and Dagora, helping users execute coin/token transactions at the best prices with minimal slippage and low fees among different liquidity sources in the market.
  • SuperLink Contract: This facilitates the execution of swap orders on selected Aggregator contracts while also managing partner fees and protocol charges, overseeing the slippage level if it has not been managed or adjusted within the incorporated Aggregator yet.

Ventures: Arche Fund

Arche Fund, the investment arm of Ninety Eight, has rebranded from Coin98 Ventures in order to discover and support builders in developing their products and expanding their user base. Since its establishment in January 2021, Coin98 has successfully assisted numerous builders and projects in creating valuable products within the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries, with a focus on decentralized financial networks (DeFi). Some notable high-yield projects in various fields include: 

  • DeFi: Perpetual Protocol, TraderJoe, Impossible Finance, Mercurial Finance, Saber, and others.
  • Gaming: Ancient8, Mines of Dalarnia, DeFiLand, My Neighbor Alice, GuildFi, and others.
  • Infrastructure: Aura Network, Serum, Injective, Boba Network, and more.
  • NFTs: MagicEden, Yunero, and others.

In addition, Arche Fund actively participates in and sponsors various events, competitions, and major funds in the market. This not only provides financial support but also strategic advisory services, strengthening collaborations with different projects and ecosystems. One of the most notable partnerships was with the Solana Foundation to develop the 5 million USD Coin98 Solana Ecosystem Fund.
Arche Fund's goal is to be a reliable platform for Web3 builders
On August 31, 2023, Coin98 Ventures officially underwent a rebranding “Arche Fund”, marking a new chapter in mission to support emerging builders and innovative ideas in Web3. The company also introduced a new framework focused on foundational values and an improved approach to enhance precision in its investment model, as well as expand its range of strategic support.
Inspired by Greek philosophy, the name Arche (pronounced as /ar-khee/) represents "The First Principle", reflecting the fund's goal of becoming a trusted platform for Web3 builders. Unlike Coin98 Ventures, Arche's framework now centers on three core pillars, catering to the unique needs of projects:

  • Arche Ventures: An early-stage venture capital firm that supports up-and-coming Web3 projects.
  • Kompass: An accelerator program for Web3 that guides enterprises through their product development journey.
  • Arche Capital: A capital resource for groundbreaking and innovative Web3 ideas.

Arche offers consultancy to assist projects in selecting the most suitable pillar based on their specific requirements, stage, and scale, thereby creating conditions for maximizing their potential.
Since the rebranding, Arche Fund has been involved in several noteworthy investment transactions in the market. This includes becoming one of the seed round investors in Cube exchange 9 million USD fundraising, as well as managing and implementing the main provisions of the 25 million USD Ecosystem Fund sponsored by Ninety Eight.
The fund will focus on supporting builders who have a shared vision of attracting users from Web2 to Web3. At the same time, the Arche Fund will prioritize selecting and assisting new projects in their start-up phase, with the main goal of improving the utility of the C98 token and advancing the development of the Ninety Eight ecosystem.

DAO: FrontierDAO

Furthermore, the Ninety Eight ecosystem serves as a sponsor for FrontierDAO, a project to establish a Web3 community and create employment opportunities in the cryptocurrency market in Vietnam. Its objective is to provide a nurturing environment for training young individuals with a strong interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain.
